This dashboard is inspired by Andy Kriebel's latest Monday Makeover and a question in the comments by Tarik:

The main features are:

- Lollipops vertically arranged to use the same revenue axis + top N team highlights.

- Pie Charts with dynamic top N teams + the rest in a single group.

- Box Plots as visual stats summaries.

- Pareto Chart for comparing the Top N teams' share of the overall revenue, a different view from the pie charts. Given a percentage, we see how many top teams are sharing it.

There are a few touch-ups that might be worth mentioning:

- Judiciously picked colors such as Spanish red and yellow, British blue and Wimbledon green.

- Made the pie clockwise by sorting the revenue (at Andy's suggestion).

Need of rolling calendar

As I stated in an earlier post, a rolling calendar is a better visualization tool than monthly calendar, especially for non-financial and dynamic data monitoring.

But its design is not so obvious using Tableau. Here I am going to lay out step by step the design of a rolling calender. By calendar, I mean a calendar based heat map.

A 5-week range is exactly 35 days. The judicious choice is such that it covers any month's length.

It's common that in one workbook we have multiple tabs. One of the tabs is supposed to be the cover tab or the default tab. We need a way to define or select one tab as the cover tab. Tableau always makes the one I am working on as the cover. That's not correct. I had to select the correct one and republish. It's so often that I touch and update different tabs, and then publish. Most of time, I found that my working tab is published as the cover. That's bad for productivity.
